IMPROVEMENT IN SETTEES.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 196,126, dated October 16, 1877; application filed June 18, 1877.

To all 'whom 'it may concern Be it known that I, GHARL ERIGK PETTER- soN, of Providence, in the State of Rhode Island, have invented an Improved Spring- Settee, of which the following is a specification:l

The nature of my invention consists in an improved chair or settee, with a seat pivoted at the back, and supported bytwo inclined wooden springs.

The drawing is a perspective View, wherein A is the seat, pivoted to the back B at the points a a, and supported in the ont by the cross-piece C, attached to the seat A, and resting loosely on the inclined springs D D. The back B may likewise be pivoted to the two i11- clined springs D D by means of the rod E; or it may be securely fixed to the upper end of the springs D D, so as merely to transmit the yielding movement of the springs down to the pivot of the seat A. The springs D D are made to enter the sockets F F, attached to the curved pieces G G, which are framed together by means of the cross-ties H H.

The springs may be readily taken out ofthe sockets and the seat and back folded up, so that the whole will occupy but a small space, which is a highly desirable feature.

When a person sits in the chair the springs D D will bend in their whole length, and the forward part of the seat A will be caused to slide down' the face of the spring, thus adjusting the whole to an easy and desirable position.

I claim as my invention- The seat A, pivoted to the back B, and resting on the inclined springs D D, substantially as described.
